Invalid

I didn't enjoy it very much, unfortunately. The humor completely missed me, the characters didn't engage me, and I didn't find the story entertaining or engaging either. While it's nice that the Slovaks have tried something out of the box (the action finale is pretty ok), I didn't find my way to it. A bit boring for me. 5/10 (26.07.2023)

Invalid is a black-humoured gangster film about an unlikely avenger and enforcer of the law that rides on similar themes as Old-Timers and Shotgun Justice, but at the same time is a film that exuded the influence of American productions. Zdeněk Godla, whose role as the honestly dumb Gabo fit him like a glove, is the main driving force of the story. I liked the setting in the 1990s, which they managed to make good use of – whether it was the tacky clothes or the world of video stores. In addition to the narrative nostalgia, I also praise the choice of music in the film. (08.06.2023)

En el mundo cinematográfico checo y eslovaco, hay que darle bienvenida a una película como esta. En los Balcanes, Kusturica rodó muchas historias similares, allí ya están acostumbrados. Para mi gusto, esto fue exagerado, pero entiendo que era intencional. La película a menudo se desliza hacia la parodia, una comedia negra muy absurda. (11.09.2023)
